The Board was created to regulate the vocation of cosmetology and its related occupations; to provide for the licensing of persons to carry on and to teach such vocation; to regulate the conduct and sanitation of cosmetological establishments and schools so as to prevent the spreading of communicable diseases; and, to provide penalties for violation thereof.
1.2) Board Composition The Arkansas State Board of Cosmetology consists of ten (10) members appointed by the Governor. Whenever the word "Board" is used, it refers to the Arkansas State Board of Cosmetology.
1.3) Administrative Division The Administrative Division of the Board is staffed by a Director and clerical personnel. The Administrative Division is responsible for the administrative and day-to-day operation of the Board. The Director will publish annually the contact information for each staff member.
1.4) Inspection Division The Inspection Division of the Board is staffed by persons who have had five (5) years of experience in the licensed practice of cosmetology. Cosmetological establishments are routinely inspected between 2-4 times a year to ensure compliance with the licensing law and rules promulgated by the Board unless complaints are received by the Board office. The inspectors examine licenses; inspect buildings and equipment; check accumulated hours and number of students in beauty schools; report violations of the law or rules; investigate complaints; rate inspections; and perform yearly initial inspections of new beauty salons.
Any inspector of the Board shall have the authority to enter into and inspect any cosmetological establishment at any time during business hours.
1.5) Location The office of the Board is located at 101 E. Capitol, Suite 108, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201. All matters, which require the Board's attention, should be directed to the Board office by calling 501-682-2168 or by emailing the Board at Cosmo@. Information may also be obtained by accessing the Board's Website at cos/.
1.6) Meetings The Board will meet in Little Rock, Arkansas for the purpose of transacting business when deemed necessary. By December of each year, the Director will publish a list of meeting dates scheduled for the upcoming calendar year.
Public comments are welcome at each board meeting; however, any person desiring to appear before the Board to take up any business within the jurisdiction of the Board that would require agenda action shall, at least ten (10) calendar days prior to such meetings, file a written request with the Director in which the nature and purpose of the appearance shall be clearly and concisely stated with sufficient details to fully apprise the Board of the basis and extent of such business.
